No fractional shares are to be issued by the company, with outstanding options and warrants to be reduced at the same rate.
Given that reverse splits typically have negative associations, it appears that the company is trying to avoid the immediately via a name change that will occur after the event. The firm on a go-forward basis will be known as Elevation Gold Mining Corp. The firms symbol is expected to change as well, however details on this were not provided.
